GreenlyWhen to plant tomatoes in Brazil: 20 July – 8 March
Tomato in Brazil: plant out into open ground from 20 July to 8 March; the window opens earliest in Caxias do Sul and closes latest in Cascavel (8 cities).
Each window starts on the Greenly calendar date and ends on the last day that still leaves the crop’s days to harvest (from its card) before the average first autumn frost, plus six weeks of picking for crops harvested over weeks (tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, cucumbers, courgettes, pumpkins, watermelons, beans) — our rule; earlier in the window is safer.
